"  Golden  volumes  !  richest  treasures! 
"  Objects  of  delicious  pleasures  f 
"  You  my  eyes  rejoicing  please, 
"  Tou  my  hands  in  rapture  seize  ! 
"  Brilliant  wits,  and  musing  sages, 
"  Lights  who  beamed  through  many  ages, 
"  Left  to  your  conscious  leaves  their  story, 
"  And  dared  to  trust  you  with  their  glory. 
"  And  now  their  hope  of  fame  achieved, 

"  Dear  volumes!  you  have  not  deceived.''''  Dr.  Syntax. 

He  that  will  have  no 'books  but  those  that  are  scarce,  evinces  about  as  correct  a  taste  in  literature  as  he 
would  do  in  fHendship,  who  would  have  no  friends  but  those  whom  all  the  rest  of  the  world  have  sent  to 
the  state  prison  —  M.  Hornrloweu. 

Self-Knowledge. —  Who  seeth  not  how  great  is  the  advantage  arising  from  this  knowledge,  and  what 
misery  must  attend  our  mistakes  concerning  it  f  For  he.,  who  is  possessed  of  it,  not  only  knoweth  himself, 
but  knoweth  what  is  best  for  him.  He  perceiveth  what  he  can  and  what  he  cannot  do;  he  applieth  himself 
to  the  one,  he  gaineth  what  is  necessary,  and  is  happy  ;  he  attempts  not  the  other,  and,  therefore,  incurs 
neither  distress  nor  disappointment  Xenophon. 

"  If  you  wish  to  become  learned  and  useful,  famed  and  ivise,  read.  Foster  not  that  morbid  appetite  to 
devour  the  trashy  literature  of  this  prolific  age.  Converse  with  the  grand,  instructive  and  solid  authors  of 
every  age.  Spend  your  spare  moments,  1  those  neglected  scraps  of  time.''  in  string  your  mind  with  the 
j 'acts,  events  and  instructive  lessons  derived  from  a  well  digested  course  of  reading .  If  you  wish  to  revel 
in  the  sublimities  of  nature  — dive  into  the  deep  intricacies  of  the  human  heart  —  expand  the  intellect  and 
senMbili'ies  of  your  own  bosom,  and  refresh  yourself  with  the  wondrous  charms  of  history,  poetry,  science 
and  genercd  literature,  read  and  bewise."  Loud  Chesterfield.

GOWANS' 

BIBLIOTHECA  AMERICANA. 


Consisting  of  a  series  of  reprints  of  rare  old  books  and  pamphlets,  relating  to 
the  early  settlement  of  North  America;  namely,  History,  Biography,  Topography, 
Narrative  and  Poetry.  Each  book  or  pamphlet,  reprinted  accurately  and  care- 
fully from  the  original  text,  with  an  Historical  Introduction  and  copious  Notes, 
illustrative,  biographical,  historical,  &c,  &c.

New  Netherland  (1670).  A  new  edition  with  copious  Notes,  by  the  Hon. 
Gabriel  Furman.    New  York,  1845,  fine  paper.  $2.50.

No.  3.  Miller,  John. —  A  Description  of  the  Province  and  City  of 
New  York,  with  the  plans  of  the  City  and  several  Forts  as  they  existed  in  the

No.  4.  Budd,  Thomas. —  Good  Order  Established  in  Pennsylvania 
and  New  Jersey,  in  America,  being  a  true  account  of  the  country  ;  with  its 
produce  and  commodities  there  made  in  the  year  1685.  A  new  edition,  with 
an  Introduction  and  copious  Historical  and  Biographical  Notes,  by  Edward 
Armstrong,  Esq.    New  York,  1865.  $2.50. 

The  above  four  books,  touching  the  early  history  of  the  New  World, 
were  all  produced  by  residents  at  the  time  on  the  spot,  and  witnesses 
to  what  they  relate.  In  consequence,  like  all  fragments  or  large  trea- 
tises, written  by  eye-witnesses,  they  possess  an  interest  and  authority  not 
connected  with  the  works  of  copyists  or  reproducers.  These  new  editions  are 
vastly  enhanced  in  intrinsic  value  by  the  Historical  and  Biographical  Notes, 
added  by  their  respective  editors,  all  well  known  as  being  amply  capable  of 
doing  justice,  as  commentators  on  American  subjects.  Copies  of  the  original 
editions  of  these  books  are  worth  $100.   Budd  cost  $150. 

The  edition  of  the  small  paper  copies  was  quite  limited,  and  only  fifty 
copies  each  of  the  large  paper  were  produced.  These  volumes  will  hereafter 
possess  a  value  far  exceeding  the  originals,  for  this  two-fold  reason :  First, 
there  are  but  few  produced :  and  second,  they  constitute  as  it  were,  landmarks 
in  the  early  history  of  the  North  American  Colonies,  as  well  as  divers  other 
parts  of  the  new  found  land  of  America. 


No.  5.  Alsop's  Maryland. —  An  Account  of  the  first  settlement 
of  Maryland  in  1665,  by  George  Alsop.  In  preparation  and  will  shortly 
be  published  :  to  match  the  above.
